Epynt Way
A circular cycling and walking route on lanes and bridleways within the boundary of the MOD's busy Sennybridge Army Training Area.
The establishment of the Epynt Way, has gone some way to compensating for the reduction in public access across this attractive area by the MOD. The village of Llangammarch Wells with its railway station makes a good access point for the route.
On the way there are lovely views towards Mynydd Epynt and the Brecon Beacons.
The route is waymarked with a disc featuring a white horse.

On the Epynt Way. A bit wet in places, but generally an excellent path along the north-western scarp of the Mynydd Epynt, legitimately just within the army training area.
Epynt Way marker #625. While travelling anticlockwise around the ascending numbered marker posts, don't forget to look behind you occasionally. At the top of this ascent you get a great view of the Bannau (pictured) or even the Brecon Beacons.
